- This output presents my practice in relation to three synchronised, accumulative and connected works that span open and hybrid books, remixed photography archive and exhibition, and publishing platforms. These works share overarching research questions: that is, none are distinct. Instead, each reacts to and incorporates the other.
The research dimensions are based on a bricolaged methodology that draws on multiple digital tools to experiment with new forms of publishing. Through this methodology, this body of work embraces, among others, small-scale interventions to University-sector OA challenges and the remixing of large institutional image archives, drawing together the public, the academic and the professional, including photographers, educators and institutions and their archives. The processes include – and move between – those of art director, author, interviewer, community leader, editor, reviewer, content creator and publisher.
The work contributes to ideas about how knowledge is performed, allowing it to experiment with, for example, the hyperlink, QR code, flatpack exhibition or photobook. Hybridity is evident in how these works perform knowledge creation at multiple levels within each work, whilst remaining easily accessible to a wider public.
In this research the methods, artefact and output are inseparable and all constitute knowledge shared. Other dissemination has taken place at international keynotes and invited presentations (America, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, as well as across the UK) with keynotes and invited presentations, exhibited in Europe (Hamburger Bahnhof), featured in The Times newspaper, Unseen magazine. It has led to collaborations with University of the Arts London on a funded case study for HEA & JISC, and to further projects (e.g. Royal Photographic Society; Motion.Lab Deakin University, Australia). A contextual document is provided to detail the research aims, process, and insights, and to collate the components for review.
